Damien, in Volume 1 he could get apocalyptic with his prose, as he did in his response to Robert Johnson. I didn't know that parts of it may have been borrowed. I had heard that some of his lyrics had been purloined from Mark Twain and others, but I don't know the percentage. I think it's pretty small. I'll have to look up Scott Warmuth. And Tim Murphy too.
Jim, I'll always remember Thomas Wolfe's description of a baseball park: "The velvet geometry of the playing field." I love Thomas Wolfe. Not "Look Homeward, Angel" as much as the other three--"Of Time and the River," "The Web and the Rock," and "You Can't Go Home Again." He wrote prose poetry of the highest order. And most of it's in iambics.
